With over 10 years of experience in the mental health field, I understand that navigating life’s challenges can feel overwhelming—and seeking support is a courageous and important first step. I am here to help you move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life. Drawing from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), psychodynamic therapy, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), I am dedicated to helping you build effective coping strategies and discover meaningful, lasting solutions.
My therapeutic style is energetic, positive, and engaged. I take a person-centered approach, meeting you where you are while also challenging you to grow. Using CBT and DBT techniques, I help you understand patterns, build resilience, and make meaningful changes.
I integrate attachement and insight-oriented techniques to deepen self-awareness.
I understand that every client’s needs are unique, and navigating challenges can feel overwhelming. That’s why I'm here—to listen, support, and guide you toward the best solutions. Your goals matter, and I am committed to helping you achieve them with care and expertise. Let’s talk and explore how we can work together to create meaningful results.
